More shady caucus stories (Reddit repost)

So last night I was talking to a friend about the caucus. He attended in Johnson County. I'm not sure which precinct. He said the initial vote, Bernie had the majority vote. Over 550 voters attended and over 300 were for Bernie. When they recounted, the numbers switch. Hillary now took the lead.

They voted by "passing their cards forward." He said upon check in, they were given cards with numbers. My precinct did not do this. But at voting time they just passed it forward. No control over the direction it went to. No separation of parties. No writing on the card to ensure the vote is in the correct pile.

He said the Hilary party refused a head count because they had voters that had left.

This precinct gave hillary 5 delegates and bernie 4.

We can't let this happen again. How can we prevent this from happening? Don't be afraid of your voice!

"The state Democratic Party chair who refuses to release raw vote totals from Monday’s razor-thin Iowa caucuses is a longtime Hillary Clinton supporter who even drives a car that officially displays her support for the presidential candidate.

Dr. Andrea “Andy” McGuire served as co-chairwoman of Clinton’s 2008 campaign in Iowa, and the Des Moines Register reported the license plate on her Buick Enclave reads: “HRC 2016.” "
